THIS CROW  UNDERSTANDS WATER DISPLACEMENT. WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO BE TOLD EVERY YEAR BY A TEACHER HOW WATER DISPLACEMENT WORKS. DO THEY THINK I’M LESS INTELLIGENT THAN A  CROW? I’M DONE.

Crows discovered the principle of displacement in the third century BC, when the philosopher Awkimedes, upon noticing the level of his bird bath rose in proportion with the amount of his body that was submerged, reportedly exclaimed “EURECAW!” and flew through the streets of Athens shouting his discovery.

EURECAW

Crows and puns? This post was made for me.

An historic discawvery.

This was my favourite of Aesop’s fables as a kid, because the moral was basically “Yay, Science!” as opposed to “Everyone is looking for an opportunity to screw your over,” (the moral of most of the other fables) so I was really pleased when it turned out crows really can figure this out.
